...Hao Daguang, commander of the seventh squadron of the 386th Brigade Security Company, had bitterness on his lips, and his heart was extremely depressed. Why did this good escort mission go wrong halfway?
Before leaving, the chief of staff patted him on the shoulder and repeatedly asked him to escort these students to the headquarters safely.
Hao Daguang even patted his chest and promised that as long as he was here, he would never let these students lose even a hair.
The journey was originally very smooth. According to Hao Daguang's planned evacuation route, the team deliberately chose a relatively remote mountain road. There were no Japanese checkpoints or strongholds on this road. On weekdays, it was rare to see Japanese soldiers and puppet troops. .
Otherwise, the brigade headquarters would not send only one squad of soldiers to escort them.
The main reason is that the target is smaller and the students can be brought back to the headquarters without alerting the Japanese or puppet troops.
Unexpectedly, today this little devil didn't know why he was crazy. Suddenly there were many roadblocks on the road. There were even Japanese and puppet soldiers searching everywhere in the mountainous area, as if they were hunting someone.
Hao Daguang was cautious enough. After discovering the anomaly of the Japanese and puppet troops, he led the student team in concealment and successfully avoided many roadblocks of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Who would have thought that when we were about to leave enemy-occupied territory, we would suddenly bump into Japanese soldiers on this mountain road.
A loud gunshot directly broke the peace of the mountain.
The Japanese scout dozens of meters away fell down, but the sound of the gunshot also meant that Hao Daguang's team of soldiers and students was completely exposed.
Hao Daguang looked back at the young man who fired the gun. Naturally, he would not blame the student for suddenly shooting and exposing the team. On the contrary, Hao Daguang only had admiration and respect for the young student.
Calm, cool, wise, cultured, and also has excellent marksmanship...
In Hao Daguang's impression, even at the brigade headquarters, the only ones who could compare with the young man in front of him seemed to be the deputy chief of staff, chief of staff, brigade commander, and political commissar. Even his own battalion commander might not be comparable.
There is nothing we can do, the battalion commander is uneducated!
As for the person in front of him, Hao Daguang had heard from the chief of staff that he was a top student who graduated from the prestigious Yanjing University and was an elite member of the fourth batch of the Anti-Japanese University. He seemed to be one of the leaders of the December 9th Movement while still in college.
He is a veteran party member, and he seems to have been an underground party member before. If compared to his seniority, Hao Daguang would probably have to call him an old comrade.
Although in terms of age, Zhao Gang, who is only 27 or 28 years old, is five or six years younger than Hao Daguang.
"Squad leader Hao, I'm sorry. As soon as the gunfire rang out, we were completely exposed, and we had no choice but to escape!" Zhao Gang, who was in the fourth phase of the Anti-Japanese University, spoke, his words still calm.
There are thirteen students in the student group this time. Only Zhao Gang is from the fourth term of Anti-Japanese University. He is the leader of this student group. As for the other students, most of them are graduates from the fifth term of Anti-Japanese University and some patriotic students from other schools. Students, in order to resist Japan and save the country, voluntarily applied to rush to the front line.
Hao Daguang attaches great importance to Zhao Gang.
Hao Daguang said with relief: "There is nothing we can do about being exposed. The Japs had raised their guns just now. If you hadn't opened fire in time to kill the Japs, if any student here had a problem, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Chief of Staff when I go back." !”
Speaking of this, Hao Daguang said doubtfully: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you are really good. The little devil just now was camouflaged with leaves. If you hadn't shot him, I wouldn't have been able to spot him. Why did you do it in the first place?" Found him?"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "During the military training in school, the instructor taught us anti-reconnaissance subjects."
"It's amazing. I originally thought that you college students were the Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth. But now it seems that the Wuqu star is still alive, and we old men are really incomparable." Hao Daguang said in admiration.
Zhao Gang said: "There is no need to be modest, Squad Leader Hao. You can learn culture slowly in the future. The valuable anti-Japanese experience accumulated by senior anti-Japanese veterans like you is what we students need to learn most. This is also the most valuable asset in the frontline anti-Japanese war."
Hao Daguang didn't know how to answer the question, scratched his head and smiled naively.
Take a look, college students speak very well, and what they say makes us feel warm in my heart.
"Xiao Liu, you are responsible for the security on the left, Erniu is responsible for the security on the right, Lao Zheng, you are responsible for the front, search and security. When the gunfire rang out, we were completely exposed. The one who was killed just now should be the Japs' scout. This means that the Japs The main force is not far away from us, so without further ado, we must take a detour and evacuate immediately!"
Hao Daguang immediately issued the order. This time he brought a class team to escort the students, including him, a total of twelve people.
In order to successfully complete this escort mission, the chief of staff additionally increased the firepower configuration for Hao Daguang's squad.
There are eleven rifles with thirty rounds of ammunition for each person, and one Czech-made light machine gun with two hundred rounds of ammunition, which Hao Daguang would never dare to think about in ordinary times.
In addition, the student team also brought several guns.
On the way out, the soldier who had been arranged by Hao Daguang to seize the guns and ammunition from the dead Japanese soldier returned to the reporting station and reported: "Report to the squad leader, the seizure is complete!"
Hao Daguang nodded and asked, "How many were captured?"
The little soldier chuckled, with a pair of leather shoes slipping on his hands, "Squad leader, this little devil is so rich! I seized a 38-meter cover, two boxes of bullets, there should be more than a hundred rounds, and there are also helmets, bayonets, Engineer shovel, kettle, backpack, biscuits... Hehe, I also asked me to take off the Japs' leather shoes. If you hadn't told me, squad leader, that time was tight, I would have had to take off the Japs' military uniforms as well."
The little soldier said it humorously, and the students seemed to be holding back their laughter.
This doesn't look like a regular combat unit of the Eighth Route Army. They look like bandits, eager to strip people naked.
Captain Hao was also a little embarrassed and glared at the little soldier.
I'm really worthless, I don't even have a good time to live my life, with so many students looking at me! What a shame.
Zhao Gang understood the students' thoughts and explained: "Students, since you have made up your mind to come to the front line to fight the war, I think you have made mental preparations before. Comrades on the front line to fight against Japan, you should understand earlier how difficult the conditions are! "
"Now that the national army has cut off our supplies, and the base area is tightly sealed by the Japanese, if our comrades put on more Japanese uniforms and go back, one less of our comrades will have to suffer from the cold when winter comes. "
Very simple words, Zhao Gang did not deliberately exaggerate anything.
The students were all silent, and Monitor Hao and his team smiled bitterly.
The hardships of the frontline resistance against Japan were just as Zhao Gang said.
Otherwise, the little soldier just now wouldn't be so happy just because he seized the equipment and supplies from a Japanese soldier.
Among the students, a young man spoke up and broke the silence.
"Don't worry, senior, since we have chosen to come to the front line, we are not afraid of hardship, bloodshed, and sacrifice. We are living hard times now so that we, the 40 million poor people in China, can live a good life in the future. For this ideal , it’s worth everything we paid for it!”
"Besides," the young man chuckled, "we were training in the fields when we were in school! Why, are we ready to enjoy the blessings when we get to the front line?"
Zhao Gang praised: "What Wenjie said is good, have you all heard it, right? This is the consciousness that we revolutionaries should have."
"Yes -" the students responded quickly.
Monitor Hao on the side watched with emotion. To be honest, when the team encountered Japanese and puppet troops before, Monitor Hao had paid attention to these students. Except for Zhao Gang and the student who spoke first just now, the other students also looked nervous. , even afraid.
But these students overcame their fears quickly.
At this moment, all Captain Hao could feel was the passion and unswerving determination of these patriotic students to resist the war.
There are these people with lofty ideals and patriotic students who are working hard for the motherland.
Why worry about China not flourishing?
